Introduction
Most people around the world recognize that trash is a problem, but I don’t think it hits them as a big problem or so I thought. I went around Mountain View High School and Los Altos High Schooland asked what the kids and teacher thought about our trash problem. Christina D’Elia, a senior at
Los Altos High School comments, “The landfills are taking up all our water space and we are now sinking in many parts because it used to be water and now it’s “land”. But it’s really just garbage.”
Alvin Smith, a Mountain View junior, sees the problem from a global perspective. “In South East Asia their waters are really bad because trash ends up there and just causes a lot of pollution and hurts the environment. Unless something is done about that it will keep on getting worse.”
People are very concerned about trash and what our future will hold. There is one thing for certain, recycling is a viable solution.
